LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2022 Northeast Indoor Showcase (Saturday)
Alex Kranzler is a 2023 RHP/1B, OF with a 6-2 205 lb. frame from Norwood, NJ who attends Northern Valley Regional. Recorded a 5.08 second forty-yard dash time. Large, physical frame with strength throughout and some projection remaining. Primary right-handed pitcher that works from a quick, full windup delivery with tons of deception and a quick shoulder. Uses slightly higher leg lift and good lower half movements down the slope to create tons of torque upon foot strike. Deceptive cross-fire release that is tough to pick up for hitters. Fastball worked in the upper-80s for the majority of his outing and topped out at 89 mph from a low three-quarters arm slot. Fastball has tons of heavy arm-side run to it and he is able to locate it to both sides of the plate. Mixed in two swing-and-miss secondary offerings with the slider being further advanced at present. Slider has 10-4 shape to it, to go-along with both horizontal and vertical tilt. Replicated changeup has heavy downward tumble to it and can be thrown to both right-handed and left-handed hitters. There is some effort to his delivery and it will need to be refined in order to maximize his potential. Right-handed hitter that hits from a slightly open stance with a high hand set, high back elbow and toe-tap trigger. Leveraged stroke with uphill swing plane and immense strength at impact. Middle-of-the field approach with loud impact and legitimate power potential through the middle-of-the field. Strong, physical prospect with high-level upside on the mound and projection remaining. Excellent Student. Verbally committed to the University of Missouri. Named to the 2022 Perfect Game Northeast Indoor Showcase Top Prospect List.
